He'd
been accused of conspiring to launch aeroplane attacks at the House of Commons.

Police
have been ordered to drop the terrorism charges against him because of lack
of evidence. The 28-year-old may face new charges but a judge in Bombay has
ordered his release until these are brought.

Authorities
say he's been one of the most well-behaved prisoners they've seen at the jail.

The
Sandhya Varta newspaper quotes him as telling his jailors: "It would
be absolutely criminal to leave the course half-way. Yoga has given me such
a kick out of life. I want to use it to serve mankind after I get out of here."

A
senior police official was quoted as saying: "It is difficult to believe
that this is the man who has been accused of such violent crimes. Afroz is
one of most well-behaved prisoners we have seen."

Dinesh
Godhke, the prison's yoga instructor, said: "His calmness is exemplary.
He says the course has made him feel as if staying in jail was a vacation
of sorts."

Bombay
police claimed he confessed to being part of an al-Qaida plot to blow up the
parliaments in India and Britain and the Rialto Tower in Australia.

Police
teams sent to Australia, Britain and the US have failed to collect any corroborative
evidence.
